Eye-catching satin blouses and structured jackets fought for attention along with shrugs with a twist that make a comeback on the ramp as do geometric prints.
What's haute: Blouses, skirts with slits, longer hemlines and garments made from traditional hand-woven silks, cotton and linen in colours like red, beiges, blue and earthy hues.
